All the books by Kai Hermann adapted to cinema and television
13-year-old Christiane Felscherinow lives with her mother and younger sister in their small apartment in a social-housing building in a dull neighbourhood on the outskirts of West Berlin. After her 14th birthday, Christiane stops going home and spends more and more time at her cohorts’ unkempt apartment; she is also drawn to Bahnhof Zoo, a large train and subway station notorious for the drug trafficking and prostitution that takes place in its underpasses and back alleys.
A modern and contemporary interpretation, inspired by the gripping memoirs of Christiane F. and follows six young people who fight vehemently and uncompromisingly for their dream of happiness. They are not victims, but young, brave and strong and their story is absolutely touching and stirring.
